Supporting local families, businesses & the local Wellington community
Giving back to the community
Yes, we’re car enthusiasts, but more than that, we’re people people. We care about local families and give back to the community when possible.
Sponsorship
Brendan Foot Supersite has been a proud part of the Wellington region for years, and we’re grateful for the incredible support from our local community. Sponsorship is one of the ways we can connect and give back to families and not-for-profit organisations in our neighbourhood.
Wellington City Mission
In 2023, we joined forces with our friends The Wellington City Mission to drive change for good by helping the local community access essential services. We provided Wellington City Mission (WCM) with 13 cars, featuring a diverse range including GWM’s Haval Jolion and the Suzuki Swift. Murray is driving the popular GWM Haval H6, which has always been a family favourite. Several of them were free to help support them on their mission.
“Proudly born and bred in the Wellington region, our family is very grateful for the support from our local community. This is one of the ways we can connect and give back to families who need a helping hand,” said David Foot. “This collaboration is more than a business alignment. It’s a partnership that shows both our organisation’s commitment and shared belief in making a lasting impact in the lives of those in need,” said Murray Edridge.
We’re super proud to do our bit to help The Wellington City Mission support more families in need this winter. To thank Wellington for your support, for every car sold during August, we’ll donate to the Wellington City Mission so they can serve more hot meals during the chilly months.
We’ll continue to support Wellington City Mission initiatives throughout the year and collaborate with their other sponsors.
NZ Art Show
For over 15 years, we’ve been the Proud Gold sponsor of the NZ Art Show. We also sponsor the People’s Choice Award and Hyundai’s Emerging Artist Awards, fostering artistic talent in local secondary schools. The NZ Art Show is a must for everyone – art lovers and art novices alike. It offers an amazing platform for both emerging and established NZ contemporary artists to present their work. Visitors to the show are immersed in a wealth of creativity, can engage with artists, and purchase original NZ Art. Mark your calendar for the King’s Birthday Weekend, 30 May – 1 June 2025. The excitement is building, and we look forward to seeing you there!
Wests Roosters Junior Rugby Club
Since 2022, we’ve been cheering on the next generation of future New Zealand rugby stars by sponsoring the Wests Roosters Junior Rugby team in Karori. We sponsor their jerseys and their big annual club day – it’s usually muddy, with around 200 juniors competing while their family and friends cheer them on from the sidelines. It’s a great day out, and we love being part of it!
Powering Lyall Bay surf lifesavers
BFS is proud to help Kiwi kids develop their skills and experience as surf lifesavers by sponsoring our Lyall Bay Surf Life Saving Club. The first surf lifesaving club to patrol in NZ they celebrated their centenary in 2010.
We help keep you safe on the road and we’re proud to be helping the next generation of our local surf lifesavers keep you safe on the water. We’re lending the club one of our cars to help them get their team and gear to the competitions around New Zealand. This year is the first time some of the kids have competed and it will be an amazing experience for them.
Sponsoring the transport also means some of the kids who wouldn’t be able to get there on their own steam can participate. Find out more about Lyall Bay Surf Life Saving Club and how you can get involved.
